Factual error: As the train is going backwards from the oncoming caboose, the camera pans to the field background and if you watch from right to left, you'll see a white vehicle driving in the background. (00:42:20)
Factual error: Right as Michael Landon boards the train off his horse you can see a radio tower in the background. Radio hadn't been invented when the show was set.
Continuity mistake: In the scene showing the kids on the caboose as Charles tries talking to them from the train, the sun is on one side of the kids; then, a short time later in the same scene, it's on the opposite side of the kids (the caboose never made any turns in this scene).
Factual error: On the hill to the right of the kids as they walk away, there appears to be a telephone tower on the hill.
